🚨 Ryobi RY25360 Weed Eater Engine fires up but the trimmer spool head spins constantly at idle

🛠️ The 60-Second Diagnostic Test

1. 1

   Set the trimmer down safely and start the engine; if the head spins while idling without you touching the gas, the clutch is stuck.

2. 2

   Shut it down, split the upper shaft coupling boom assembly, and look inside the clutch drum to check for loose shoe metal.

💡 The Quick Fix Steps

1. 1

   Unbolt the trimmer engine housing from the clutch drum housing to expose the two internal weighted shoes.

2. 2

   Remove the broken spring pieces and hook a new high-tension centrifugal clutch spring across both shoes, or swap the full clutch hub.
